CBR750 problem with connection and setup
Few things happened STEP1: I had problems with internet over last 2 weeks. People during calls will complaint that i drop out. Xfinity came to check and replaced the cable but problem continues. ST...
ab-wifi worked for 1 year without problems. After factory reset problems started
i actually also setup ab-wifi as guest network, and seems to be working fine for most devices.
i will try to remove mac randomizer and see if there is any change...
i connected with Xfinity but they said on their side everything is fine, i can rent modem from them them and then everything is going to be fine. They cannot help with my own modem
Overall i am thinking to change the system. I was thinking to buy modem and router separately however expect that RBR750 might end with same issues...
Well the power levels is too high for one so eventually that will eventually burn out the modem side of the CBR. Will burn out any modem at those higher power levels.
Going with separate modem and external router is recommended. I doubt the SSID name will carry over. FW on the RBK systems are at v7 and are stable. I asked about the CBR and NG doesn't seem to sure if v7 will be coming to it. No idea if or when that will ever happen if NG can make something work.
I can try my CBR in a Faux AP mode with your SSID name and see if my devices connect. Seems like if the SSID had been working and nothing on the CBR has changed, this would not be a CBR issue, rather maybe a device and OS update issue that may have been introduced on that side. Maybe some OSs don't like special characters in the SSID name. Not the first time that would have happened.
